Texans are leading the nation in the number of arrests for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6
as supporters of former President Donald Trump violently disrupted a joint session of Congress convened to certify President Joe Biden’s election.
Months later, the U.S. Department of Justice is still investigating and arresting accused rioters, including Adam Weibling, a Katy area man the FBI arrested on Tuesday.
